<a href="http://pbwiki.com/">PBwiki</a> is a super simple, extremely clean route to having, what you always wanted (admit it), your very own <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki">wiki</a>. Just enter your username and email address, and wait for the password to be sent to you, and you're off and running. No need for your own web space, no messing around with CGI, PHP or Python, and if you're worried that the site will vanish and take your stuff with it, you can even download your entire wiki in a ZIP file. It's <a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/list-of-wiki-farms">not the first</a> free <a href="http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Groupware/Wiki/Wiki_Farms/">wiki farm</a> out there, but it's just about as simple and clean as one can get.<br />
<br />
But what do you do with it once you have one? I've been using a personal wiki for keeping track of ideas, places and characters for a (rather sprawling) novel project; the simplified page markup of a wiki combined with easy hyperlinking make them great for brainstorming. You could also start up a game of <a href="http://www.20by20room.com/2003/11/lexicon_an_rpg.html">Lexicon</a>, which is well-suited <a href="http://paranoia.allenvarney.com/index.cgi/WikiRandomLexiconPage">for play on a wiki</a>, and as <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/41400">previously seen</a> in these parts. Or, you know, you could just start your own <a href="http://everything2.com">Everything</a>.

<a href="http://traumwerk.stanford.edu/">Now class, please turn in your (meta)homework</a> Several classes at Stanford have started relying on multimedia-intensive collaborative websites. A quick browse through the gallery and you will find classes that either rely on blogging or run entirely <a _top href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWiki">"wiki style"</a> . While it seems thrilling to see students stimulate and build ideas off one another, will this concept ever filter down to your average high school class? It seems that the whole principle of wiki comes at odds to traditional conventions of authorship. Surprisingly, <a _top href="http://traumwerk.stanford.edu/~mshanks/courses/eight-sites/index.html">in this course</a>, students can choose the option of being assessed solely on their experimental participation on the wiki site. When classwork consists of students adding and changing each other's comments, how would you grade each student individually? <em>(By the way, there are a lot of pretty pictures in the gallery.)</em> tag:metafilter.com,2003:site.29074Tue, 21 Oct 2003 02:34:20 -0800alex3005
